I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Hong and the Sand Village ninja named Juan had dark faces and frowned, lying on the ground with uncomfortably looking faces, both of them were in a state of half-awake and half-comatose.

"They were poisoned. Ye Lan, you should be careful too. The opponent's puppets are all poisonous. Hong and Juan were only scratched a little and became like this. Maki's face was not looking good either. The chakra in his body had been exhausted.

Ye Lan: "You take a rest first, I will deal with the enemy in front of you."

"This Deidara kid is such a useless guy. I didn't expect that he would be defeated so soon." Sasori looked at the unconscious Deidara with dissatisfaction. He knew that they had to evacuate. It seemed that those few Genin had already left to seek rescue. If he delayed any longer, he would be left behind as well.

Scorpion directly put away the puppet of the Third Kazekage and evacuated without caring about Deidara. Ye Lan took a look and did not pursue him. There were too many wounded here and Deidara had just been captured. Fortunately, they stayed where they were and waited for rescue.

After a while, Temari came with a large group of Sunagakure people, along with three of Hong's students.

"Teacher Hong!" Hinata and the other two couldn't help but step forward when they saw Hong who was injured and unconscious.

"Let's go to the Sunagakure hospital first and see if there is any way to detoxify." Ye Lan said.

Maki nodded after hearing this. They often poisoned puppets, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

A group of people hurried back to the Sand Village, and the originally prepared welcoming ceremony was cancelled. In this situation, they didn't care about the superficial work. It wasn't until Hong entered the infirmary that Ye Lan felt relieved. Looking at Hinata and others who were full of worry, he said, "Don't worry, the poisoning didn't last long. The people of Sand Village will cure Hong."

Hinata and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ye Lan's words.

"The crisis facing Jonin Ye Lan has been resolved temporarily, but I heard that the enemy's target was the One-Tail. Could you please explain it to us?" The visitor was a high-ranking Jonin of Sunagakure. He said immediately after seeing Ye Lan.

Ye Lan glanced at the door of the emergency room and estimated that Hong would not be able to finish the work in a short time, so he walked out of the corridor with the senior ninja and came to a secluded open space.

"Actually, I'm not very clear about the details. Lord Hokage knows a little more. I only know that they are an organization called Akatsuki, which is made up of S-rank rebel ninjas from various countries. Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi have both joined the organization, but I heard that Orochimaru has now withdrawn from the organization. Itachi came to Konoha a while ago and made it clear that his target was the Nine-Tails. I think their organization may be planning to target the tailed beasts. I don't know how many people are in the organization and what they need the tailed beasts for. By the way, you guys should lock up Deidara, we will take him with us when we return." Ye Lan said a lot, basically telling him everything he knew.

After hearing this, the jonin responded, "It's really too rampant. Since the establishment of the five major ninja villages, no one has ever dared to take the idea of ​​​​the tailed beast. What do they want to do? Don't worry about Ye Lan jonin and the Iwagakure traitor. We have found a special person to guard him. Just tell us when you return to the village. If you have any information about Akatsuki, please share it with Sunagakure. After all, we are allies now."

"I'm sorry that I can't agree to this matter now. I need to go back and ask Lord Hokage for instructions." Ye Lan understood that he had no right to decide on issues between the two countries. Although he felt that Tsunade would most likely agree, he could not make the decision first.

"Is that so... I understand. Then I won't disturb Ye Lan. I've already told you where to rest. Someone will take you there." The Sand Village jonin didn't force Ye Lan to do anything, knowing that he had to consult his leader. He didn't expect that a Sand Village elite like Maki would be so embarrassed, while Ye Lan looked fine. He usually thought that young and powerful ninjas like him would have their own pride, but he was actually quite easy to talk to. He was even an Uchiha.

"The mission failed. Deidara was directly captured by the opponent." Looking at the other members of the Phantom Body Technique, Scorpion said.

"Scorpion, I didn't expect your team's business capabilities to be so poor. Not only did you fail to find the tailed beast, but you also lost Deidara!" A member of the organization mocked directly. It seems that there is not much friendship within their organization, and how can they get along with this group of S-rank rebel ninjas in a friendly manner.

"Shut up, Hidan! We've met a master this time, and our opponent has a summoned beast that can fly, so Deidara can't play to his strengths at all." Although Scorpion said that Deidara was useless, he still made a few excuses for him.

"Moreover, that Konoha ninja was an Uchiha, and should be the Uchiha Ye Lan mentioned last time." At that time, Scorpion did not fight with Ye Lan directly, but he could clearly see the Sharingan in Ye Lan's eyes.

"Is it that Uchiha again? It seems that he has caused our members to suffer a lot. He has a good heart." A member with eyes glowing green said calmly.

"Okay, everyone be quiet." After the member in the center said this, everyone fell silent. I guess he was the leader of the organization.

"Deidara must be rescued. Xuanwu, go and find out where Deidara is imprisoned first, and take action if there is a chance. Suzaku, you guys should move closer to the Wind Kingdom and provide support in case of need. Santai, your group should continue to carry out the bounty mission." After the leader issued orders to the members one by one, he left the meeting.

"Kakuzu, I guess Deidara will need your help after he is rescued. One of his hands was chopped off and it's still with me." Sasori couldn't help but say when he saw that the member with green eyes was also about to cancel the Illusion Body Technique.

"It doesn't matter. Just tell him to prepare the money. I will definitely make him satisfied when he comes to me." After saying that, he lifted the ritual.

This guy is really obsessed with money, Scorpion couldn't help but think after watching Kakuzu leave.

"Then I'll go find Deidara first." The member codenamed Xuanwu said before leaving. Scorpion nodded and didn't give any more instructions. He still recognized Xuanwu's ability to collect intelligence.

...

"Ye Lan, Jonin!" The door of the emergency room suddenly opened, and Ye Lan, who was standing against the wall, had a bad premonition.

"The poison in the Red Jonin and the Roll Jonin is not any of the Sunagakure types. We cannot handle it with our current technology!" The medical ninja said to Ye Lan in a panic. No matter what the reason, the death of an ally in the other's village will have an impact on the relationship between the two parties, let alone a Jonin.

"Is there no other solution for the Sand Village?" Ye Lan looked grim. He didn't expect that the poisonous Sand Village could not be solved. If he had known earlier, he should have gone back to Konoha to ask Tsunade for a solution.

"Elder Chiyo may have a way, but..." The medical ninja spoke haltingly when he mentioned an elder.

“Just what…” Ye Lan didn’t have time to play guessing games with him. Human lives were at stake now and not a minute or a second could be wasted.

"Elder Chiyo hasn't left his residence for a long time and no longer asks about anything in the village. I'm afraid Elder Chiyo won't take action."

Without waiting for the medical ninja to finish speaking, Ye Lan turned around and prepared to find Maki to ask him to come and solve the problem.

"Brother Ye Lan, Teacher Hong..." Ya's eyes were a little red. He didn't expect that his first A-level mission would be like this, and he could not help at all. The only thing he could do was pray.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Ye Lan sighed and touched Ya's head.
